80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 9, Heavy Rain

“Grandma, I’m going to cook the corn and boil out the oil.” As soon as she got home, Mei Xue took action immediately. She was thinking about the corn.

Seeing her like this, what could Grandma He say: "Go, I just happened to feed the chickens and pigs."

　　Life in the He family was very comfortable and relaxing, and Mei Xue had also integrated herself into the He family.

Of course, she still felt a little uncomfortable with being called granddaughter-in-law, but it didn't hurt that the man didn't come back.

　　The sky in June is like a child's face. Whenever it rains or rains, the sky learns to cry and laugh, just like a child.

On the day of the big market, it rained heavily. Mei Xue was dumbfounded when she got up early in the morning. She and her grandma picked all the vegetables home yesterday and planned to sell them this morning.

It’s raining now, can you still sell it?

At this time, Grandma He's door also opened. She looked at the sky, which was very gloomy, and said, "Xiaoxue, please don't follow me out today. I can just sell these dishes by myself."

How could Mei Xue agree: "No, the rain is so heavy, grandma, don't go either." Mei Xue was worried that the heavy rain would cause landslides, and she finally found someone who cherished her, so how could she let her grandma take risks.

 “What should I do if I don’t eat these vegetables?” If these vegetables are kept for a few days, they will really go bad.

The old lady didn't want these dishes to be wasted.

Mei Xue really wanted to say that she would eat it at home, but there was so much, she really couldn’t eat it.

Just like those green peppers, there is no way you can finish them. They will rot if kept for a long time.

"Well, I'll go. Grandma, didn't Aunt Meilian say yesterday that she was going to the market today? Just tell her and I'll go with her. Just wait for me at home."

 She was worried about letting the old lady go alone.

Even if two people go together, Mei Xue is still worried about what if she gets sick from the rain in such a heavy rain?

Grandma He thought she would not agree, but when she saw Xiaoxue's anxious look, the old lady smiled.

 Xiaoxue is feeling sorry for herself. How many years has it been? How long has it been since anyone has felt sorry for herself?

“That’s it, I’m going to talk to your Aunt Meilian right away.” The old lady was an activist, so she put on her raincoat and walked to Aunt Meilian’s house.

Mei Xue also packed up the things she wanted to sell at home, took out a pole and tested the weight.

"Well, it's not bad. My strength has been restored by 30%." Mei Xue was very happy that her strength had been restored. She is a person who can move and not be sure.

 If she loses her strength, she won’t be able to get used to it.

He added the vegetables from the basket to the load and placed them evenly on both sides. "It's done. When the time comes, I can carry it out without a carriage." Having strength is beautiful.

 Having the energy to do anything.

"Meilian, Meilian, are you home?" Grandma He walked quickly to Meilian's house and shouted loudly as soon as she reached the door.

 Such a heavy rain, even if the sound is not loud, you can't hear it.

The lights were on in the main room, and a man came out: "Who is it?" He Zhengcai walked out with Maozi.

When he saw the person, he was startled: "Third aunt, why are you here?" He immediately opened the door and let his third aunt in.

Grandma He was not polite and walked directly into the door: "Where is Mei Lian? Is she going to the market today?" People in the village rely on selling some things during the big market and buying some oil and salt.

“Go, Lixia has to send a message to her husband’s family and ask someone to come in and pick her up.” The two of them quickly walked to the main room.

Grandma He didn't go in either, and didn't bother to take off her clothes: "It's time to go back, why don't you go back to your parents' house for a month or two." Grandma He lectured with a smile.

They are all family members, otherwise she would not have said this, which would offend people.

He Zhengcai also loves his daughter. How could he not know this? "No, that girl just got married, how can she be sensible?"

Grandma He rolled her eyes, you are used to it, "Okay, where is Mei Lian?"

"It's in the back." After saying that, he opened the back door of the hall and shouted to Mei Lian who was doing something behind him, "Mei Lian, Mei Lian, come out quickly, Third Aunt is here to find you."

Meilien is clearing the ditch at the back. Otherwise, there would be water in the house due to such heavy rain.

“Come here, Zhengcai, go and clear the stones in the ditch over there, otherwise the water will flow into the yard later.”

Mei Lian was mostly wet, and she immediately walked out as soon as she heard that her third aunt was looking for her.

"Well, I'll go right away. You go ahead quickly. The third aunt doesn't want to come in. It's cold outside."

After saying this, He Zhengcai went to Tongshitou ditch.

“Third Aunt, why are you here so early?” Mei Lian walked over quickly and asked when she saw Grandma He.

"Let me ask you, do you still want to go to the market?" Grandma He didn't dwell on it. She still had a lot of things at home.

“Go, why don’t you go? The vegetables we picked yesterday won’t last long if we don’t sell them. It won’t be good if we throw them all into our hands and we won’t be able to eat them at home.”

The family relies on the produce of this land to increase their income.

“That’s it, it’s raining too much. My Xiaoxue will go with you. Please keep an eye on her on the way.” Grandma He said without any politeness.

When Mei Lian heard this, it was a trivial matter: "Okay, I'll ask Xiaoxue to follow me then. Third Aunt, go back quickly. I'll pack up here soon and leave in a while. Please let Xiaoxue come down."

“Sure, then I’ll go back first, and remember to bring Xiaoxue back for me.” Grandma He looked serious.

“Okay, I will definitely bring Jun Qi’s wife back.” Mei Lian promised with a smile.

When Grandma He came back, Mei Xue had heated up the food. She added two eggs and some pickles to some of the leftover rice from last night to fool around with. This one was very hungry.

“Grandma, are you back?” Meixue walked out of the kitchen and called after hearing the sound.

 “It’s me, grandma is back.”

  After closing the door of her house, Grandma He walked to the eaves a little faster, "Your Aunt Meilian will be leaving in a moment. Go and fill your stomach quickly, and then you can go down with your things."

The He family lives in the middle of the mountain, and they have to go down the mountain to leave the village.

“Okay, the meal is just ready, I’ll grill some first.” Mei Xue turned around and walked into the kitchen, picked up the bowl and started eating.

She can accept any kind of suffering, but she cannot accept hunger.

　No matter what you do, you must first fill your stomach.

When Grandma He came in, she saw Xiaoxue eating rice there, and she was so worried that she spoke slowly.

After dinner, Mei Xue put on the raincoat that Grandma He was wearing just now, carried a load and walked to Aunt Mei Lian's house.

It happened that I had to pass through her door when going down the mountain.

When Mei Xue arrived, Aunt Meilian also came out with a load: "Xiaoxue is here, I was going to call you."

“Good morning, Aunt Mei Lian, grandma asked me to come over as soon as she gets back.” To outsiders, Mei Xue spoke much less, with a fake smile on her face.

However, outsiders couldn't tell whether she was really smiling or fake. "That's it, let's go."

 The advantage of rain is that you don’t have to go too early, and there won’t be many people in the morning anyway.

The contract has been mailed, please feel free to collect it
